Since 1993, the house of Escada has been delighting women around the world by crafting ephemeral fragrances designed exclusively for the summer season. Positioning itself as a trendsetter, Escada thus celebrates the arrival of sunny days and offers a foretaste of vacation. To mark the 30th anniversary of this tradition, in 2023 Escada chose to deliver to women a new concentrate of joie de vivre, straight from the Mediterranean: Santorini Sunrise.
Each year, like many travel enthusiasts, the house of Escada sets its sights on a new vacation destination. Indeed, for 30 years, the house has been crafting feminine fragrances that last only for a season. In 2023, this sun-drenched breath takes us toward the Greek islands. Santorini Sunrise by Escada draws inspiration from the Cyclades and, more precisely, from the volcanic island of Santorini. It brilliantly combines the freshness of sea spray with the sun-kissed warmth of this breathtaking natural setting. FOCUS on its composition.
The olfactory pyramid of Santorini Sunrise by Escada
Santorini Sunrise by Escada unfolds in three successive stages. Like most fragrances, it evolves from fairly fresh, airy top notes toward a much warmer, enveloping and long-lasting base. It all begins with a vivid impression of citrus. Santorini Sunrise by Escada contains mandarin sorbet paired with bergamot, a zesty and slightly bitter fruit resulting from the union of the lemon tree and the bitter orange tree. Then, its heart releases a more floral impression. Santorini Sunrise by Escada gives off an opulent, sun-kissed burst of jasmine. Finally, it gradually becomes more powerful and spicy at its base. It closes with a delicious grain of pink pepper.
The many contrasts found in Santorini Sunrise by Escada
Thanks to this composition, Santorini Sunrise by Escada instantly plunges us into the heart of the Cyclades. Indeed, in this unique place, the sun warms the skin while the body is immediately cooled by the sea spray. And it is precisely this sensation of warmth and coolness that one feels on contact with the feminine fragrance Santorini Sunrise. On one hand, the citrus notes bring fresh vivacity. On the other, the pink pepper warms the atmosphere. Between the two, jasmine creates a bridge, resembling a burst of sunlight at its zenith.
Santorini Sunrise, a four-handed composition
To create this summer fragrance, the Escada brand called on two perfumers. Santorini Sunrise owes its existence to Mylène Arlan and Benoist Lapouza. Each of them brought their own personal touch to it. According to those involved, Mylène Arlan focused her work on the deep notes, the fresh scents and the earthy finish of this creation. Benoist Lapouza, for his part, explored other ingredients to evoke a greater sense of closeness with nature.
Santorini Sunrise by Escada, a vegan fragrance
Finally, to stay closely aligned with current trends and consumer expectations, Santorini Sunrise was also brilliantly orchestrated in terms of ingredient choices. Indeed, these raw materials were rigorously selected, not only for their quality, but also out of respect for the environment and resources. As such, Santorini Sunrise by Escada is a 100% vegan fragrance. In other words, it contains no ingredient derived from animals or likely to cause them suffering.
